The Danner Ridge Boot ($440), crafted in Danner’s Portland, Oregon factory, embodies the perfect blend of classic style and modern comfort. Inspired by the original Danner Light, this lightweight hiking boot features a full-grain leather upper with suede panels and is designed with a slightly wider fit for sneaker-like comfort during light hikes or busy days. Danner’s commitment to quality is evident with 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX liners, ensuring no water gets in while allowing moisture to escape. The boot’s heel provides exceptional shock absorption, and the Vibram® Megagrip compound offers outstanding traction and stability on both wet and dry surfaces.
